Tuesday was my usual client site visit, so no personal genealogy that day.

On Wednesday, my son asked me to take him to see some trains. It seems he met another railfan online and wanted to meet him in person. This sounds sketchy I know, but it was a nice meet up. They're the same age and both use the same equipment. This is how railfans roll:

Thursday was obviously Turkey day. It was also football day. I'm a Texans fan, so if you saw the game you know why I had to take the rest of the day to recover. No genealogy for me.

The rest of the week and weekend I just enjoyed having my family home. I was also unapologetically lazy.

My intent last week had been to hang out with the dead. However, life got in the way and reminded me how important it is to hang out with the living. So I did.

That's so neat that your son follows the trains . I remember sitting at railroad crossings with my my Gramps in Northern Ohio for hours so my little brother could see the trains . It's actually a fascinating hobby !

Speaking of the creepy thing... My mom said the exact same thing when I told her I was going to Jamboree for the first time and that Gini Webb was driving me. Of course, it turned out wonderful and it justgoes to show that sometimes its ok to take a risk like that (especially in a geek circle like genealogy or trains! Yay geeks!)

One the personal research front, I'm not doing fun things right now. I'm adding facts and sources to my database. It's a lot of tedious work and no fun discoveries. However, it does feel good to have sources and citations for every little detail in my database.

I know this is much later than you posted it. Life got in the way of my blog reading. And that's okay too. So, hopefully you have spent the following days since this post hanging out with both the living and the dead. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
